Custom Crush
We are excited to share with you a new, state-of-the-art winery facility and hospitality space for a small collective of artisan vintners looking to produce small-lot wines at the highest level of quality. At the heart of our mission is a commitment to provide the best facility, resources, and service to enable our winery clients to produce and showcase their wines in an ideal environment. In collaboration with Taylor Lombardo Architects and based on years of experience, our winemaker Jennifer Williams designed a world-class winery ideally suited for high-end small-lot producers. From cold storage to optical sorter to small tanks with automatic pumpovers, no detail has been overlooked. We look forward to welcoming like-minded vintners and making this a place they are proud to call home.
Arrow&Branch Winery's newly built, clean, and pristine custom crush facility, is equipped with state-of-the-art technology. Our modern establishment is meticulously designed to cater to the nuanced needs of small lot wine production, ensuring that every batch receives the highest level of care and precision. The facility's advanced equipment and innovative processes are complemented by a dedicated professional winemaking team, offering "white glove" service to ensure an unparalleled winemaking experience. With a focus on quality over quantity, our low tank turnover policy guarantees that each wine batch is given the time and attention it needs to develop its full potential.
Capable of processing up to 15 tons of fruit per day, our facility employs a gravity feed system to gently move grapes into fermentation tanks, preserving the delicate flavors and characteristics of the fruit. For those requiring additional storage solutions, our cold storage options are readily available to maintain optimal conditions for wine aging. Additionally, Arrow&Branch Winery offers tenancy to other wineries through Type 02 Alternating Proprietorships, fostering a collaborative and innovative winemaking community. This seamless integration of advanced technology, expert service, and collaborative opportunities makes our custom crush facility a premier destination for boutique wine production.
